Chapter 476 Hruz

Seeing that his elder brother and the others were a bit embarrassed, Li Haoyu stepped forward and said to the many girls.

“Ladies, the Thirteenth Corps fought very well, but our left wing also fought beautifully, and finally successfully defeated the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s troops. Moreover, we don’t have a Star Destroyer, while the Thirteenth Corps is equipped with the Ray Pole, so it’s normal for them to break through the enemy earlier than us.”

Upon hearing Li Haoyu’s words, the girls from Rainy City immediately became displeased and retorted one after another.

“You can’t say that; the Thirteenth Corps has a Star Destroyer, but so does the enemy!”

“And they also faced Saint Eleanor Knights Arrebi and General Long Mellite; you didn’t face such powerful enemies.”

“Exactly! And in the end, General Su Ming even killed Arrebi.”

Li Haoyu was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Li Fubai’s face flashed with an unnatural expression when he heard them mention Su Ming, but he quickly returned to normal.

“What you ladies said is right. The Thirteenth Corps was indeed outstanding in this battle, especially Commander Su Ming, who outshone everyone. He is a role model for us.”

Major General Mokang also coughed and said.

“That’s more like it. However, we also don’t think your left wing fought poorly; it was also thanks to you for holding back the enemy’s forces.”

Seeing that Major General Mokang was so reasonable, the leading girl replied very amicably.

“It’s alright.”

Major General Mokang replied with a chuckle.

The awkward atmosphere eased for a moment.

At this moment, the ceremonial officer responsible for reception shouted loudly.

“King Kendimu of Hajiaweite Kingdom, Queen Beivila of Haichao Kingdom, King Fodger of Polut Kingdom… Arrived!”

Everyone turned their heads to look.

They saw the kings of various Neutral Countries in Tidal Star Sea walking in with smiles on their faces.

Click!

Countless flashlights lit up.

King Kendimu and the others walked towards City Lord Alicia, who was surrounded by everyone.

The reporter, who was broadcasting live, also introduced to the viewers with a smile.

“Now entering are the kings of various countries in the Tidal Star Sea, followed by their noble delegations. They are all here to congratulate Rainy City on its victory in this battle.”

At this moment, King Kendimu and the others came before City Lord Alicia and enthusiastically congratulated her.

“Congratulations, Lord City Lord Alicia, on your victory in the battle, giving the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom an unforgettable lesson for life.”

“That’s right! After this battle, those guys from the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom will definitely not dare to offend again.”

“Thank you. The success of this victory is also thanks to everyone’s strong support.”

City Lord Alicia exchanged pleasantries with a smile.

Although the Neutral Countries did not participate in the war this time, they eventually spontaneously formed troops to assist, which greatly pleased Alicia.

“Lord Alicia, you really flatter us.”

King Kendimu and the others replied, flattered.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. Thank you all for coming to this celebration banquet. After the award ceremony, everyone must eat and drink to your heart’s content.”

Alicia said with a smile.

“Definitely!”

King Kendimu and the others responded with chuckles.

Time passed bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye, more than half an hour had gone by.

The entire hall was filled with guests; basically everyone had arrived, but City Lord Alicia showed no intention of starting.

Many military officers whispered.

“What’s going on? Isn’t it time for the banquet to start? Why hasn’t it begun yet?”

“Not sure, it seems like there are still guests who haven’t arrived.”

“Who?”

“I heard it’s General Su Ming.”

“No way, isn’t he coming?”

At this moment, Rhine and others pushed Su Ming to the bottom of the plaza steps.

Su Ming looked up at the bustling plaza, a bit surprised.

“Such a grand display?”

Timmy quickly walked to Su Ming’s side, bent down, and whispered to Su Ming.

“Commander Su Ming, for this celebration banquet, Lord Alicia has not only invited the participating military officers and Neutral Countries’ kings, but also all major media and reporters. Even Mr. Sang Lang, the most famous person from the Federal World Daily, is here! You must be careful with your words and absolutely avoid controversial statements.”

“Okay.”

Su Ming nodded in response after hearing Timmy’s words.

Rhine and Ankajia, seeing this, each took a side, lifted the wheelchair, and walked up the steps.

The ceremonial officers at the plaza entrance, seeing this, shouted in unison.

“General Su Ming has arrived!”

The previously noisy plaza immediately quieted down, and everyone’s gaze converged.

They saw Rhine and the others pushing Su Ming over.

Military officers and nobles along the way spontaneously made a wide path, warmly greeting him.

“General Su Ming!”

“Hmm!”

Su Ming nodded slightly in response to everyone.

Click!

Countless flashlights lit up, and many reporters were frantically taking pictures.

At this moment, Rhine pushed Su Ming past Li Fubai and the others.

Su Ming’s gaze calmly swept over them.

Li Fubai immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet Su Ming’s gaze, while Li Haoyu was so scared his face turned pale and his legs trembled.

When he offended Su Ming back then, although Su Ming was a Major General, it was still nothing to their family.

But now, Su Ming’s status was completely different; crushing them was like crushing an ant.

Major General Li Lie was very puzzled to see Li Haoyu and Li Fubai acting so unusually, but he found it inconvenient to ask more at this moment.

Soon, Rhine pushed Su Ming to City Lord Alicia’s front.

Alicia personally stepped forward and said with a smile.

“General Su Ming, you’re here.”

“Lord Alicia, I apologize for being late and keeping you waiting.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“No, the timing is just right. Let’s begin.”

Alicia said with a beaming smile.

“Mm.”

Su Ming nodded.

Alicia then walked to the podium, raising her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

The entire plaza immediately quieted down.

All cameras in the venue refocused on City Lord Alicia.

City Lord Alicia smiled and said to everyone.

“Thank you all for attending this celebration banquet and witnessing this glorious moment. In this Tidal Star Sea battle, the reason why my Rainy City was able to severely damage the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom is all thanks to the valiant struggle of our brave soldiers. My heartfelt thanks! I, Alicia, have always been fair in rewards and punishments; those who have contributed will certainly be rewarded! No ambiguity whatsoever!”

Clap! Clap!

Everyone burst into enthusiastic applause.

“Now, let the awarding and conferment ceremony begin. Please welcome our hero, General Su Ming!”

Alicia announced with a smile.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless gazes and spotlights converged on Su Ming, instantly making him the focus of the entire venue once again.

The public watching the live broadcast also shouted excitedly.

“Look, General Su Ming is about to go on stage!”

At this moment, Rhine and Ankajia reached out, preparing to lift Su Ming onto the stage.

However, Su Ming raised his hand, signaling them to step back.

Rhine and the two were also startled, but they still obeyed the order unconditionally.

At this moment, Su Ming pressed his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and stood up, gritting his teeth.

“Wow!”

All the girls in the audience burst into excited shouts when they saw this scene.

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Ming walked onto the podium step by step.

Alicia looked at Su Ming, who was walking onto the stage alone, a smile on her face, and her admiration grew even stronger.

Soon, Su Ming came before City Lord Alicia.

Old Woman Bi Han walked over, holding a tray with both hands. On the tray lay a red sun badge.

City Lord Alicia solemnly announced.

“General Su Ming has shown outstanding military achievements in the Tidal Star Sea battle, defeating General Long Mellite, Saint Eleanor Knight Lily, and Saint Eleanor Knight Byrut of the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom single-handedly, and killing Saint Eleanor Knight Arrebi. He is specially awarded one Sun Medal and 10,000 military merits!”

Clap! Clap!

The scene immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.

City Lord Alicia then picked up the sun badge and personally pinned it on Su Ming.

“Thank you, Lord City Lord Alicia.”

Su Ming replied respectfully.

“This is what you deserve. Since General Su Ming is on stage today, why don’t you say a few words to everyone present.”

Alicia said to Su Ming with a smile.

Su Ming felt a bit troubled upon hearing Alicia’s words, but he couldn’t refuse. So he nodded slightly, looked at the crowd in the plaza, and said seriously.

“Hello everyone, I am Su Ming. I’ll just say a few heartfelt words here. This victory belongs to all participants, not just my glory. I am proud of you!”

Clap! Clap!

As soon as he said this, many military officers present, especially Marina and the others, applauded excitedly.

They had finally received Su Ming’s recognition.

“Thank you.”

Su Ming bowed slightly, then slowly walked off the podium.

At this moment, many reporters gathered around, holding microphones for interviews.

“General Su Ming, may we ask you some questions?”

“You may.”

Su Ming replied politely.

“General Su Ming, with such great military achievements in the Tidal Star Sea this time, is your bid for general even more secure?”

A capable female reporter asked impatiently.

“Ahem, as a general of the Federation, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the Federation. As for other matters, they are not within my consideration, so I am not very clear.”

Su Ming replied in a proper manner.

At this moment, a shrewd middle-aged man with a small mustache said to Su Ming.

“General Su Ming, I am reporter Sang Lang from World Daily. It’s an honor to interview you. May I ask, since you’ve achieved so much at such a young age, how is your romantic life? Are you single?”

“Yes.”

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

As soon as this was said, the entire venue immediately erupted, and countless gazes converged on Su Ming.

Su Ming was also startled, instantly feeling as if he had said something wrong.

He looked up and around, only to see the eyes of many girls present glowing red, all staring at him like hunters spotting prey.

“It’s over, boss said the wrong thing.”

Rhine slapped his forehead, muttering to himself with a headache.

Instantly, a great many girls gathered towards Su Ming.

“General Su Ming!”

“Oh no.”

Rhine and the others’ faces changed drastically, and they quickly rushed forward to block Su Ming, forming a human wall.

“General Su Ming, I’m also unmarried!”

“General Su Ming, consider me! I don’t need a dowry!”

The female military officers on the scene went crazy, desperately pushing their way through.

“Don’t push me!”

“Move aside!”

“Hey, hey, don’t you have a husband? Why are you also here to snatch him?!”

“Oh, I’ll divorce him when I get back! Wait, why are you joining the fun? Don’t you have many boyfriends?”

“Broke up, all broke up!”

Although the awards ceremony was still ongoing, no one cared about it anymore.

City Lord Alicia, seeing this scene, was not angry at all; instead, she found it very interesting.

For a moment, the scene was in chaos.

Sea God Fortress – Outer Starry Sky.

Iron Guard Mechs patrolled orderly.

In the public communication channel, sighs could be heard.

“Today, Lord City Lord Alicia is holding a celebration banquet, and Sea God City is celebrating throughout, with all stores having big discounts and promotions, but we’re on duty patrolling.”

“No choice, who told Captain Willin to lose in the lottery.”

“Hey, hey, can you blame me? I don’t want to be on duty patrolling either! The pub is half-price unlimited drinks today!”

Willin replied with heartfelt pain.

Just then, in the distant starry sky, a violent fluctuation suddenly appeared, and a black swirling Wormhole Spacetime emerged out of thin air.

Instantly, the scanning device emitted a piercing alarm.

“Warning: Unidentified spatial fluctuations detected!”

Willin and the others were immediately shocked as they looked at the abnormal starry sky.

At this moment, a monster with a body stretching for hundreds of kilometers, a head shaped like a blooming flower, four pairs of black crystal-like wings on its back, a hollow center, and emitting a black halo, drilled out!

Willin, seeing the monster that appeared, was extremely terrified and shouted.

“It’s, it’s that monster! Quickly sound the alarm!”

Sea God Plaza.

Rhine and the others firmly protected Su Ming, and after much effort, they finally persuaded the pushing girls to retreat.

“Oh my god, boss, next time can you please not talk nonsense?”

Rhine and the others said to Su Ming, looking disheveled.

“Sorry.”

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

At this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

“What’s going on? Why did the alarm suddenly go off?”

“I don’t know, but listening to the alarm, it’s a Level 1 alarm.”

“Could it be that the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom is attacking again?”

“How is that possible? The Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s forces were severely damaged beyond recognition.”

Many guests present were all startled, with uneasy expressions on their faces.

Rhine and the others also looked at Su Ming with puzzled expressions.

“Boss, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t know, something must have happened.”

Su Ming replied with a tight frown.

Everyone’s gaze converged on City Lord Alicia.

The smile on Alicia’s face immediately faded. A Level 1 alarm at this time definitely meant something had happened. She then said to everyone.

“Everyone quiet down, don’t panic. The celebration banquet is temporarily canceled. All non-combat personnel and guests, please proceed to the safe zone. The rest of you, follow me.”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison.

At this moment, many people watching the live broadcast also began to discuss.

“Who is so blind as to cause trouble during Rainy City’s celebration banquet?”

“I really can’t figure it out.”

“Could it be a false alarm?”

“If this alarm is a false alarm, that person won’t live.”

Alicia led Su Ming and the others towards Sea God Castle while sending a message to the central control room, inquiring about the specific situation.

Soon, they entered Sea God Castle and arrived at the grand hall. Some more authoritative reporters also followed them in.

Alicia raised her hand and waved, and a holographic image screen popped up, sending a communication request to the Sea God Fortress Central Control Room.

Soon, the communication connected successfully, and Fini’s virtual image appeared, anxiously saying to Alicia.

“Alicia, my lady.”

“What happened?”

“The patrol mech team discovered a Type VI Lord-class alien, Heruz.”

“Isn’t Heruz in the Guangying Star Sea? How did he get here?”

Alicia’s expression changed drastically as she replied.

Su Ming and the others were all very surprised to hear this; they hadn’t expected that monster to come here.

Fini shook her head and said to Alicia.

“We don’t know either.”

“Find a way to lure that monster away.”

Alicia said with a fluctuating expression; she had seen videos of Heruz attacking the Wormhole Time-Space Defense Line, and that guy was unusually strong, so luring him away would be the best option.

“Lady Alicia, we’ve tried, but we can’t lure him away. Now that monster is coming straight for us, it seems to have targeted Sea God Fortress.”

Fini explained helplessly.

As soon as these words appeared, everyone present was startled, and even the citizens watching the live broadcast panicked.

“Immediately intercept him with all your might.”

Alicia’s expression changed drastically as she replied.

“Understood, Morigko has already led a team to intercept him.”

“Very good, display the star map!”

“Yes!”

Fini immediately responded.

Whoosh!

A huge star map immediately appeared.

At this moment, the entire area’s layout could be clearly seen. Sea God Fortress was located at the center of the star map, surrounded by many ships, with Pure World Flower to the front left of Sea God Fortress.

At this time, a huge red dot, located 3412W kilometers from Sea God Fortress, was rapidly approaching.

After a glance, Alicia immediately gave orders.

“Order all unrelated ships near Sea God Fortress to retreat immediately!”

“Yes!”

“Order the outermost patrol ships to attack it and guide it to change direction.”

“Understood!”

Fini immediately responded.

As the orders were given, two patrolling Level 4 Battleships moved towards Heruz and launched a fierce attack on him.

At this moment, the two black crystal spikes protruding from Heruz’s body immediately glowed with red lightning.

Zzzzt!

Two dark red beams of light shot out.

Instantly, the two Level 4 Battleships were pierced through and exploded with a bang.

Two green dots on the star map immediately disappeared, and the large red dot continued to rapidly approach Sea God Fortress.

Alicia’s expression immediately became very grim. Seeing the situation escalate, she immediately gave orders.

“Order Pure World Flower to charge!”

“Yes!”

Fini nodded in response.

At this time, Siro and others eagerly volunteered to Alicia.

“Lady Alicia, we will go and intercept that monster right away.”

“Go!”

Alicia nodded in reply.

At this time, Feilong and others also spoke up.

“We’ll go help too!”

“Thank you all. I will await your triumphant return here.”

Alicia replied in a deep voice.

“Hmm.”

Feilong and the others turned and left.

In an instant, the entire hall was half empty, with only various celebrities, capital giants, and the kings of Neutral Countries remaining.

Su Ming watched this scene, also wanting to help, but his current situation made him willing but unable.

At this moment, the optical imaging device of Sea God Fortress transmitted the captured battle footage.

In the starry sky.

The huge Pure World Flower first retreated, then slowly opened, and its internal 12 sets of Star Core Hearts began to preheat.

Star Destroyer Leiji and Star Destroyer Deep Blue guarded both sides of Sea God Fortress, and their main cannons also began to charge.

At this time, Heruz flapped his wings, advancing continuously with terrifying momentum.

At this moment, a swarm of mechs formed a wall in front of him, directly confronting Heruz and firing beams of light at him.

These beams hit Heruz’s body but were all resisted by his red outer shell, causing only slight ripples on its surface, utterly failing to impede his advance.

“Stop him!”

“He absolutely cannot get through!”

“Kill!”

One by one, the captains desperately roared.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. Any mech that stood in Heruz’s path was directly crushed and exploded by his powerful charge.

At this moment, a terrifying ice-blue stream of light cut through the dark starry sky and heavily struck Heruz on the head.

Bang!

A terrifying impact swept out.

Heruz’s field outer shell rippled, and although the attack was absorbed by the field outer shell, his head still shook, and his massive body stopped.

At this moment, V Generation Mecha, Ice Demon, appeared.

“General Morigko!”

The soldiers of Rainy City shouted with excitement when they saw the Ice Demon mecha.

Heruz’s crimson eyes looked at Morigko, and he swung his huge claw to tear at Morigko.

Morigko manipulated the Ice Demon mecha, dodging the attack with a Light Speed ​​Flash, appearing in the distant starry sky, and calmly giving orders to his subordinates.

“Everyone, do not approach. All of you provide remote assistance with attacks. I will hold him back!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded with fervor.

At this moment, the perimeter security ships were ready, their main cannons glowing with brilliant light, and countless densely packed firing ports opened!

Whoosh!

Beams of light filled with destructive power, along with countless missiles, surged like a tide towards Heruz.

Boom!

One dazzling sun after another, accompanied by countless fireworks, exploded on Heruz’s body.

Heruz’s field outer shell also withstood all the attacks; though it rippled over a large area, it quickly recovered, its hardness exceeding everyone’s understanding.

Su Ming and the others gasped when they saw this scene.

This concentrated attack, even a planetary fortress might not be able to withstand it, yet this monster easily endured it.

“So strong!”

“Boss, what level of monster is this exactly?”

Rhine and the others asked Su Ming in astonishment.

“Not sure, only know it’s Type VI.”

Su Ming replied with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Heruz was enraged and immediately opened his mouth, accumulating destructive power.

Whoosh!

A dark red beam of light, flickering with lightning arcs, swept across!

Boom!

One Level 4 Battleship after another exploded with a roar, and the energy shields of two Level 5 Battleships were directly destroyed, their hulls suffering considerable damage.

Immediately after, Heruz flapped his crystal-like wings, erupting with terrifying pressure and momentum, and continued to fly forward.

Seeing this, Morigko manipulated the Ice Demon mecha, swinging his Super Particle Light Blade, and like a stream of light, he slashed across Heruz’s body.

Screech~

Light particles splattered everywhere.

Seeing General Morigko charge forward, swarms of mechs desperately fired!

Beams of light, like raindrops, fell upon his body.

Heruz’s crimson eyes lit up, and his crystal-like wings suddenly vibrated, spreading countless tiny black crystal powders that enveloped all the mechs attacking him.

Morigko keenly sensed the abnormality and shouted with a drastic change in expression.

“Be careful!”

But it was too late.

Boom~

Instantly, all the black crystal powder in the entire area ignited.

One mech after another burst into flames like fireballs, and screams of agony echoed through the public communication channel.

“Ah!”

The entire starry sky area was like a sea of black fire; all mechs below Type IV exploded, and Type IV and Pseudo V-generation Mecha that hadn’t activated their energy shields also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Alicia’s face turned extremely grim when she saw this.

Su Ming’s expression also grew more silent. After this wave of cleansing, Rainy City directly lost over a thousand mechs.

After Heruz dealt with the troublesome guys, he continued to advance, like a god of slaughter, unstoppable.

As long as it wasn’t a V Generation Mecha, it was like dross in front of his attacks, almost certainly dying upon contact.

“Damn it! How much longer until it’s ready!”

Feilong and the others roared, their eyes bloodshot, watching their subordinates fall one by one.

“One minute, give us one more minute!”

Doctor Amon Gate replied anxiously.

“Hurry!”

Feilong and the others could only steel themselves and continue their attack.

Time passed second by second, and soon a minute was gone.

Inside Sea God Fortress’s main hall.

Doctor Amon Gate connected and reported to Alicia.

“Lady Alicia, the 12 sets of Star Core Hearts are preheated, and the Pure World Light is ready!”

“Quick, notify everyone to evacuate!”

Alicia immediately gave the order in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Doctor Amon Gate immediately responded.

Upon receiving the notification, Feilong and the others manipulated their mechs, turned, and flew away, trying to get as far as possible from Heruz.

“Lock target, activate!”

Seeing Feilong and the others retreat, Alicia immediately gave the order.

Instantly, all the crystal plates of Pure World Flower lit up, emitting beams of light. These beams were continuously refracted within the crystal plates, finally converging into the central myriad-faceted mirror.

Zzzzt!

The white metal cone extending from the central area flickered with terrifying energy fluctuations, instantly erupting with brilliant light.

A white beam of light, like a world-ending ray, shot out, striking Heruz.

Heruz felt extreme danger and immediately flapped his crystal wings, evading with extreme speed.

However, even so, he didn’t completely dodge and was hit by a portion of the white light beam.

A massive white sun rose, and a destructive shockwave spread out.

“It hit him!”

Feilong and the others’ hearts were in their throats.

Alicia and the others were also extremely nervous.

When the white light subsided, Heruz’s field outer shell had shattered, his massive body was charred black, and parts of his body were dissolved.

But in the next second, countless black cells surged out, rapidly proliferating and repairing the injured areas.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts completely sank.
